Commenting on the clothing protection,
I was watching American hot rod on discovery channel last night. It had Boyd's hot rod shop in Ca doing body work and painting a custom rod. I found it interesting they were power grinding lead filler with out a mask. Also painting primer in short pants and a tee shirt and with just a dust mask type mask. (this was the shop foreman). Later when they were sanding bondo, they all wore dust masks. But when sweeping up-they even swept the dust up next to the bathroom door and blew it into the BR as a joke on the guy in there using it with no mask. (hopefully the lead dust was not in with it) Then when he did the top coats, he worn a full coverall type suit, gloves and air supplied hood. They didn't say what type of materials they were using, other than E coat as the primer which i thought would be epoxy primer?. I think that they have to use some of the water borne paints out there due to the air laws, but i wouldn't think it would be safe enough for your skin to wear shorts and a tee. They had the best paint room money could buy with a chain system to hang the bare chasis on to paint all sides at one time. Money was no object there, but they were cutting corners on safety i thought and the foreman was 26. No lifetime craftsmen there, one 18 year old, one 19 and sander/sweep up guy in his thirties. I did learn one tip i hadn't thought of, they used dish soapy water when wet sanding to surface clean and sand at the same time. Be safe out there.
